What does this mean for fashionistas?

That they will no longer be restricted by a narrow, stereotypical set of influences. These labels brought plenty of unique accents worth exploring:

Fall Haircut Ideas

Wedge Bob Cut

A favorite when it comes to fall hair makeover ideas, a wedge haircut creates a strong layering effect, giving flow and shape to thick hair.

Razor-cut Bob

Cut shorter in the back and angled longer in the front, with thinly sliced ends, for a casual, tousled effect, this cut works beautifully with all face shapes. Textured Shoulder-Length Bob

You could also go for a tousled shoulder-length hairstyle, complete with long, side-swept bangs, ideal if you've got a heart-shaped face. Long layers are cut throughout to create movement and texture.

Asymmetrical Cut

Pondering on fall hair makeover ideas? For a chic, edgy look, go for an asymmetrical cut, which will work best on straight or flat-ironed hair.

The Kenzo resort 2014 collection is filled with attention-grabbing ensembles. This time, designers Carol Lim and Humberto Leon decided to put a truly personal touch on the new offerings and chose influences from their home state California and style accents from their youth as inspiration. The label invites its fans to “wander nonchalantly through the relaxed and carefree life of a sunkissed, sunshine state citizen”. A simple glimpse at the new designs makes the invitation seem more than appealing.
For the two designers, a laid back vibe isn't synonym with unstructured silhouettes, breezy maxi dresses or pastel tees. Clothes for dark brown hair color .

The 'carefree life' envisioned in the new Kenzo resort 2014 collection revolves around high waisted carrot pants, cropped jackets, graphic prints and a multitude of edgy accents. The luxury retailer opts for high impact techniques like color blocking to ensure that the new ensembles will help its loyal customers avoid blending in with the crowd. With vibrant colors like bubble-gum pink, bright coral and blue, that possibility will definitely be extremely slim.
Palm tree prints evoke the feeling of summer holiday like no other motif so the prevalence of such pieces in the new Kenzo resort 2014 line is far from being surprising. What is impressive, however, is that the fact that the palm trees are actually handpainted. More unexpected was the label's choices as far as fabrics were concerned, garments in 3-D honeycomb being one of the most eloquent examples.
